NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands)


1. Basis of reporting for condensed consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
CECO Environmental Corp. (the "Company") and subsidiaries have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company
contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2002 and
2001 and the results of operations for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and of cash flows for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. The results of operations for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Certain amounts in the December 31, 2001 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the June 30, 2002 presentation.

2. New Accounting Standards

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 141, "Business Combinations". SFAS No. 141 requires that all business
combinations be accounted for under the purchase method only and that
certain acquired intangible assets in a business combination be recognized
as assets apart from goodwill. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 141, on January 1,
2002, the Company's intangible asset of $1,392 related to the workforce was
reclassified to goodwill under the criteria of that standard and is no
longer considered a separate intangible asset.

In June 2001, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 142 requires that ratable amortization of
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives be replaced with
annual tests for impairment and that intangible assets with finite lives
should continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 142 as of January 1, 2002. In accordance with SFAS No.
142, the Company ceased amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with
indefinite lives as of December 31, 2001. The ceasing of the amortization
of such assets resulted in a reduction of $119 of amortization expense in
the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 and $238 in the six-month period
ended June 30, 2002. Additionally, the Company has evaluated the fair value
of intangible assets with indefinite lives and determined that the fair
value was in excess of the carrying value of such assets. During the second
quarter, the Company completed its

5



CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP.
------------------------

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

testing of impairment of goodwill and determined that the fair value of the
net assets was in excess of the carrying value of such assets.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which superseded SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of". The primary difference is that goodwill has been
removed from the scope of SFAS No. 144. It also broadens the presentation
of discontinued operations to include a component of an entity rather than
a segment of a business. A component of an entity comprises operations and
cash flows that can clearly be distinguished operationally and for
financial accounting purposes from the rest of the entity. Implementation
of SFAS No. 144 is required as of January 1, 2002. There was no
adjustment required upon adoption.

3. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:

2002 2001
------- -----------


Raw materials and subassemblies ................ $1,339 $1,279
Finished goods ................................. 317 156
Parts for resale ............................... 798 722
------ ------
$2,454 $2,157
====== ======


4. Business Segment Information

The Company has re-evaluated its presentation of segment data in the second
quarter resulting from changes in its management structure and the
operational integration of its business units during the first quarter.
This change in structure and operational integration results in one segment
that focuses on engineering, designing, building and installing systems
that remove airborne contaminants from industrial facilities, as well as
equipment that controls emissions from such facilities. Accordingly,
related financial information is no longer considered necessary as the
condensed consolidated financial statements herein reflect the operating
results of the segment, since the Company maintains one single business
segment.

5. Other Income

The other income during the second quarter of 2002 is the result of a fair
market value adjustment to a liability recorded in connection with
detachable stock warrants to purchase 353,334 shares of common stock at an
initial exercise price of $3.60 per share. These warrants were issued along
with the Company's stock issuance of 706,668 shares of

6



CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP.
------------------------

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

common stock on December 31, 2001 to a group of private investors. This
liability is accounted for at fair market value and adjustments in future
quarters could result in an increase to the liability and a corresponding
charge to income. The Company no longer holds shares of Peerless stock
which made up the majority of the other income earned during the first
quarter and first half of 2001.

6. Earnings Per Share

There were no adjustments to net loss for the basic or diluted earnings per
share computations.

7. Comprehensive Loss

The Company currently records as other comprehensive loss the changes in
the additional minimum pension liability, and the change in fair value of
the interest rate swap. A reconciliation of net loss to total comprehensive
loss is as follow:

Results of Operations

The Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 reflect
the operations of the Company consolidated with the operations of its
subsidiaries. At June 30, 2002, the Company owned approximately 94% of CECO
Filters, Inc. Minority interest has been separately presented in the statements
of operations.

Consolidated net sales for the three-months ended June 30, 2002 were $18.6
million, a decrease of $4.5 million compared to the same period in 2001.
Consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2002 were $37.5 million, a
decrease of $5.4 million compared to the same period in 2001. The decrease in
sales resulted primarily from lower revenue generated from customers in the
automotive industry. Sales decreased by $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the
first quarter and first half of 2002, respectively, due to the sale of Air
Purator Corporation's operating assets effective December 31, 2001. This was
offset by sales of $2.6 million from the Company's newly established company,
CECO Abatement Systems and Kirk & Blum's new division, K&B Duct. The Company
booked orders of $18.1 million during the second quarter of 2002 and $37.6
million for the first six-months of 2002, as compared to $19.5 million during
the second quarter of 2001 and $48.2 million in the first half of 2001. The
decrease is partially attributable to the inclusion of a large specialty piping
division contract booked in the first quarter of 2001. The piping division was
discontinued during the third quarter of 2001. The Company has experienced an
increase in sales quoting in the second quarter of 2002 versus the fourth
quarter of 2001.

Gross profit was $3.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002, a
decrease of $0.6 million compared to the same period in 2001. Gross profit as a
percentage of revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 was 19.6%
compared with 18.2% for the comparable period in 2001. Gross profit was $7.5
million for the first six months of 2002, a decrease of $0.1 million compared to
the same period in 2001. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the first
six months of 2002 was 20.0% compared with 17.8% for the comparable period in
2001. The increase in 2002 is attributable to an increased focus at all levels
on project cost management yielding higher margins for Kirk & Blum and CECO
Filters.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million during the three
months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. The decrease
can be attributable to the Company's cost control and a reduction in its work
force. Selling and administrative expenses were $6.1 million for the first six
months of 2002 and 2001. The 2001 period included adjustments for the reversal
of a contingency reserve held in connection with a customer bankruptcy ($0.2
million), and the reversal of a reserve held in conjunction with the operations
discontinued in 1999 ($0.2 million). The Company reduced its Selling and
Administrative workforce in May 2002 reflecting the consolidation of certain
functions and efficiencies gained. On an annualized basis, the impact is
expected to result in a savings of approximately $1.0 million, which should
begin to be realized in the third quarter of 2002.

Depreciation and amortization decreased by $0.1 million during the three months
ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period of 2001. Depreciation and
amortization decreased $0.2 million to $0.9 million in the first six months of
2002 primarily resulting from the implementation of

8






CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP.
------------------------

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 142 requires that ratable amortization of
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives be replaced with annual
tests for impairment and that intangible assets with finite lives should
continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The implementation of SFAS 142
resulted in a favorable impact to results of operations of $0.2 million during
the first six months of 2002 as compared with the same period in 2001.

Other income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 was $0.2 million
compared with income of $0.5 million in the comparable period in 2001. Other
income for the first six months of 2002 was $0.2 million compared with income of
$0.4 million during the same period in 2001. The other income during the second
quarter of 2002 is the result of a fair market value adjustment to a liability
recorded in connection with detachable stock warrants to purchase 353,334 shares
of common stock at an initial exercise price of $3.60 per share. These warrants
were issued along with the Company's stock issuance of 706,668 shares of common
stock on December 31, 2001 to a group of private investors. This liability is
accounted for at fair market value and adjustments in future quarters could
result in an increase to the liability and a corresponding charge to income. The
Company no longer holds shares of Peerless stock which made up the majority of
the other income earned during the first quarter and first half of 2001.

Interest expense decreased by $0.2 million to $0.7 million from $0.9 million
during the second quarter of 2002. Interest expense decreased $0.5 million to
$1.4 million during the first six months of 2002 compared to the same period of
2001. The decrease is principally due to lower borrowing levels and decreased
rates under the bank credit facility.

Federal and state income tax benefit was $0.1 million during the second quarter
of 2002 compared with a tax benefit of $0.2 million for the same period in 2001.
The federal and state income tax benefit was $0.3 million for the first six
months of 2002, a decrease of $0.2 million from the comparable period in 2001.
The effective income tax rate for the first half of 2002 was 44% compared with
53% in the same period of 2001. The effective tax rate during 2002 is affected
by certain permanent differences including non-deductible interest expense. The
effective income tax rate during 2001 was affected by non-deductible goodwill
amortization and interest expense.

Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was $0.2 million compared with a
net loss of $0.1 million for the same period in 2001. Net loss for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 was $0.4 million compared with a net loss of $0.5
million in the same period of 2001.

Backlog
- -------

Our backlog consists of orders we have received for products and services we
expect to ship and deliver within the next 12 months. Our backlog, as of June
30, 2002 was $18.8 million compared to $18.6 million as of December 31, 2001.
There can be no assurances that backlog will be replicated or increased or
translated into higher revenues in the future. The success of our business
depends on a multitude of factors that are out of our control. Our operating
results can be affected by the introduction of new products, new manufacturing
technologies, rapid change of the demand for its

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

products, decrease in average selling prices over the life of the product as
competition increases and our dependence on efforts of intermediaries to sell a
portion of our product.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
- ----------------------------------------------------

At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 cash and cash equivalents totaled $0.1
million.

Cash provided by operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30,
2002 and 2001 was $1.0 million.

Total bank and related debt as of June 30, 2002 was $17.1 million as compared to
$17.7 million at December 31, 2001, a decrease of $0.6 million, due to net
repayments under bank credit facilities. Unused credit availability at June 30,
2002, was $2.6 million under the Company's bank line of credit.

The senior secured credit facility was amended in May 2002 reducing the minimum
coverage requirements under several financial covenants as of March 31, 2002 and
June 30, 2002 and eliminating the LIBOR based borrowing option for the revolving
line of credit and term B tranches to the facility.

Investing activities used cash of $0.2 million during the first six months of
2002 compared with cash used of $0.4 million for the same period in 2001.
Capital expenditures for property and equipment, and leasehold improvements were
$0.2 million for the first six months of 2002 and were primarily for
manufacturing and engineering equipment. Capital expenditures for property and
equipment are anticipated to be in the range of $0.5 million to $0.9 million for
2002 and will be funded by cash from operations and/or line of credit borrowing.

Financing activities used cash of $0.8 million during the first six months of
2002 compared with cash used of $1.2 million during the same period of 2001.
Current year financing activities included net payments under bank credit
facilities.

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from
operations, and its credit facilities are adequate to meet the Company's cash
requirements over the next twelve months.
